(To the Editor- of the Gre>j Mver An/us.) Sir — Being a witness in the case of Hooper .and party v. Beard and party, and. knowing the case to be decided wrongfully, I wish"to show to. the public how Mr Tlevell autedin my case. Iwould not mention it now, as it is nine months since, but ail thiiik Mr R<jvell ought to have had experience enough by this time, and seeing how he acted in the above, of bourse I think it my duty to the .public to let his decision be known. / I bought one fourth share in a claim adjoining M'Kenzie and party, situatel o>j the beach, not far from Greyniouth, ipr which I paid £40, and got a reoeipt for? the same. The seller then went to Melbourne. I was in possession of the said claim riirie ;d;vys arid working, • v/hen the/parties in the adjoining chu m told me the ground was given to them. Hf course I refused to give it up ;. the case came before Mr Eevell, and he decided it ftgainst me. Th ese facts I made known in Court, but of no avail; I shbuld hjiye thought my being working in tlie gronnd, and being seen by the parties for nine days, would be sufficiently clear to any one that I was the rightful owner. .
